Aston Villa are still in the hunt to finish in the top 5 but they know there is no margin for error, as they travel to Bournemouth. The Cherries came from behind to win well against Arsenal last weekend and they look like a side capable of kicking on to bigger and better things next season. Aston Villa meanwhile have seen their season derailed a touch over the past couple of weeks, but a win here could see them back in the top 5 conversation.

Bournemouth vs Aston Villa Analysis
Both of these sides will be looking for three points, in what promises to be an excellent game for both punters and EPL betting sites.
Bournemouth
A superb comeback win over Arsenal last weekend should be the catalyst for Bournemouth between now and the end of the season, with the Cherries having enjoyed an excellent campaign. They find themselves in 8th place and they know that a win here would put them in a great position to be playing some sort of European football next year. Their home form has been very good, with the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City already beaten and they should be bang up for this one.
Team news: Enes Unal, Luis Sinisterra and Ryan Christie will all miss out here for Bournemouth.
Bournemouth Predicted Lineup:
Kepa, Smith, Huijsen, Zabaryni, Kerkez, Cook, Adams, Semenyo, Kluivert, Scott & Evanilson.
Aston Villa
Unai Emery’s Aston Villa have been one of the forces of the Premier League this season, but they have plenty of work to do if they are playing Champions League football next year. They have been dumped out of both the FA Cup and the Champions League in recent weeks, and they are hoping to salvage 5th place from their Premier League campaign. There isn’t much margin for error in the race for the top 5 and Villa need a win here, something which has been noted by all punters and Premier League betting sites.
Team news: Marcus Rashford will miss out here for Aston Villa.
Aston Villa Predicted Lineup:
Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne, Kamara, McGinn, Tielemans, Onana, Asensio & Watkins.
Bournemouth vs Aston Villa Prediction
Both of these sides have enjoyed a very good season in the Premier League, and they will want to kick on with their respective aspirations over the last few games. Bournemouth can secure some sort of European football if they win all of their 3 remaining games and that will be a huge incentive in this one. Aston Villa meanwhile can still crack the top 5, although they need results to go their way and in amongst all this chaos, both sides may end up settling for a draw.
Prediction: The match to finish as a draw – 13/5 (+260) – Rhino Bet.
Bournemouth vs Aston Villa – The Ultimate Bet
Draw & BTTS – 7/2 (+350) – Fitzdares
There are just three games in the Premier League for both of these sides and they will feel that losing this one could have disastrous consequences. Goals could be on the agenda at the Vitality, and this could end up all-square.
